The Carters Find Happiness In The Dominican Republic

With all the crazy drama that’s going on in celebrity relationships this week, it’s quite refreshing to get a dose of happiness in the form of the Carters.

Beyoncé and Jay Z love them some Dominican Republic! And judging by Bey’s latest vacation pics, we can definitely see why!

Despite having already taken a trip just two months ago, the Carters returned to the island life last week to celebrate their sixth year of wedded bliss. While there, the power couple spent their time at the luxurious Casa de Campo resort and enjoyed all the amenities the place had to offer.

Bey was clearly in full vacay mode with her curly hair and fresh face while she played with baby Blue and made golfing look sexy in a high waist bikini. Meanwhile, in photos posted on Tumblr, Jay enjoyed an afternoon run with Blue on his back, in between good wine and conversations with his wife.

148 People Bitching

Beyonce is so insecure and narcissistic.She is addicted to the spotlight and can’t accept that her light has truly dimmed.

I’m also so sick and damn tired of all these ridiculous effeminate males that act like they live through her and they are just as annoying as she is.

Beyonce is not relevant as it pertain to sales.She can only compete with Rihanna. She can’t compete with GaGa or Adele who has sold almost 30 million of her last cd and about 8 million for her first cd.

How has Beyonce’s light dimmed? Don’t confuse your wishes with reality. Beyonce is selling more than she has ever before, she’s selling out arenas faster at higher prices than ever before, she’s making headlines more than ever before, she’s breaking and shattering records left and right, she gets praised by legends and divas alike, HOW does that equate to fading? Y’all have been praying for her downfall for over a decade and I know it bothers you that it has yet to happen. She just dropped an album that shook the entire music industry, but her light has “dimmed”? Girl please sit.

According to Forbes Beyonce is the most influential and powerful female celebrity on the planet and has been for years. Learn to deal with facts.

But why was I seconds away from saying this!!!! These people would love to see her fall. It’s very sad and scary. Here’s a black woman literally making history, undeniably one of the best entertainers of all time, and the biggest artist/star of the 21st century, and what do these people want from her? To “sit down”. I don’t get it.

And to the person who is comparing her sales to Gaga and Adele, guess what Beyoncé has that they don’t: longevity. Beyoncé has managed to remain hot and on top since she stepped foot in the industry some 16 years ago and has been #1 ever since she went solo. Lady Gaga is already experiencing her fall from grace with her last flop of an album that Beyoncé outsold in 2 days. And if we really want to be honest, Rihanna is zero competition for Beyoncé. I say that because I think they can exist simultaneously AND because Beyoncé has proved to us that she has no competition. Literally. She doesn’t even have to fight or promote to be on top. Her name alone holds more weight than the blood swear and tears of every other pop star in the industry today, Rihanna included. You think rihanna could drop an album and have the effect Beyoncé had? Absolutely not. She can’t even sell past 200K first week with a #1 hit.

Let’s just be honest with ourselves here. Y’all said Beyoncé was experiencing a decline when “4” didn’t do what it was supposed to do, but then her next album left the media in a frenzy. Then y’all said the music was lackluster, but then she received the highest metacritic score of any popstar ever. So then y’all said she wouldn’t have a hit off the album, Drunk in Love shot up the charts, Partition is doing the same, and Flawless isn’t even a single and is getting radio spins. So what now? What else is left for you to try and deny her impact and trivialize her work? Some of you are pathetic, go find your happy. =)

I’m not a fan of her music, but why are people so rabid with their opinions about her (and Rihanna)–both positive and negative? This person saying her star has faded is clearly delusional. Record sales are great for awards, but touring is where the money is; and I don’t think Beyonce has had any problems selling out an arena ANYWHERE! These pictures are lovely. Wish I was there right now. How anyone can turn these precious family photos into something negative is beyond me.

why cant yall talk about beyonce without putting others down , what does adele and gaga have to do with beyonce , all 3 are totally different success and totally different paths to success . smh

This man is ugly as hell, she is beyond thirty like your on holiday and you have a professional photographer? everything for show. @Shellianne you told no lies. Adele and them out here outselling her left and right.

Just cause he’s ugly to you doesn’t mean that he’s ugly to her! He’s her husband, not yours. Y’all mad at some vacation pics. Who doesn’t take pics when they’re on vacation? I sure do. Y’all Act like bey asked Nicole to post these pics on her site…. Angry birds

I imagine its a close family member or friend thats also on payroll that takes the pics.

You must be young … you will also learn that all that glitters is not gold and that beauty is only skin deep and that a man’s character and how he treats you is way more important than how he looks. I will take that comment for what it is, the ramblings of a child who really doesn’t know any better.

+2 Bessy Reply:April 12th, 2014 at 4:56 am

@Mrs. Kristy,
I’m just going to assume you were having a bad evening, because you are way to angry about this chick.

A couple thing though, I really don’t think you should let someone’s looks stop you from getting to know them. The truth is someone out there probably thinks you are ugly, and I hope you wouldn’t think it is right for them to insult you and make fun of anyone who chooses to date you.

Also, why does it matter if Adele is outselling her? Why can’t Beyonce’s work stand alone? Why does it have to be compared to others? Honestly, a lot of my favorite artists and albums are pretty underrated, but that doesn’t stop me from liking them.

I think you are a little too competitive, and I don’t believe you’ll be happy in life with that attitude.

****** ******* woke up hatin today do you not feel beautiful today? y u so mad? I’m not even a Bey fan like that but Jeesus what’s the point of your comment? makes you look bitter and miserable! cuz no one that is happy with their life will find time to insult the next person !

ms elegant what about your comment shows that you are elegant? you ratchet lol. . and I like Bey but I’m not obssesed if you must know…you bitches love to put each other down! but not me! ALL i said is why you woke up hating on this woman! why cuz she’s filthy rich with a beautiful family enjoying her life when ever she wants? please I’m just letting it be known I don’t have to personally know another woman to check a BITCH about her hatin!! have a seat boo.

How do people find a way to make a positive post sooo negative? What the hell does Adele and company have to do with this woman on vacay with her family. Also, why are everybody and their mama can upload pics of FB, IG, Tumblr, Myspace, and ect of their vacations but when she does it, there is a problem? Of course she has a professional photographer, her name is BEYONCE! She is one of the most famous people in the world. Mariah Carey has one, she was taking sexy pics for Nick in the bath tub on Valentines day. There is nothing wrong with that. Also, no one ifs forcing you to view these photos, she said in her Oprah interview she shares these photos for her fans, because she know they like to see.

I was about to ask the same thing. Does she hire a photographer to snap pics of her & fam while on vacation? I always thought these pics, posted on tumblr, looked heavily staged. It would make sense… Bey is looking very thick… I guess she’s no longer that size 2

-17 Love_bey Reply:April 11th, 2014 at 12:31 pm

I love the pictures and the family is beautiful. Butttttt I would like to see a cute picture of like jay and blue brushing their teeth, tying her shoes. Putting on deodorant, picking a wedgie. Something human! LOL These pictures are beautiful but I mean it’s like all scripted. Anyway. Curly hair is gorgeous on her.

Lol picking a wedgie? Putting on deodorant. Really? Lol. What else a pic of her douching? I mean dang. Beyonce, like any other human who has a social page post pictures of the things they want to share. A picture of them brushing teeth and tying shoes will look “staged” aswell. Who does that anyway. We know they brush their teeth. Why do we need proof? Lol omg. And what are they doing in these pics that not human? Looks like some pretty normal human stuff to me. Lol. Like what more do you want? A pic of Jay hitting it from the back.

Girl bye! Lady Gaga is currently flopping, all that promo for ArtPop and her album still not platinum. I’m sick of everyone being compared to Adele, I love her, but please. There are black female soul singers who have singing what she is singing for years and don’t get recognition. Don’t try to bring down Bey and her hard work, she has been the game for about 18 years, and 11 as a solo artist still gaining new heights in her career.

@Curtis i hate to disturb your gaga hate fest but ArtPop is not a flop it just hasn’t done as well as Born this Way because all her management changes , it sold 2.3 already i wouldn’t call that flopping and shes going on a world tour and coming out with a second album for artpop , gaga is a fairly new artist compared to beyonce and has done amazing things in her career so stick to the topic on the post instead of dragging gaga or adele thru dirt with nonsense opinions .

@HoneyB I don’t argues opinion, I argue facts. Lady Gaga’s(who I am a fan of) decline is real, and she’s only 5 years into her career. she just released her new single G.U.Y in it’s in the 500’s on Itunes. Artpop shipped 2.3 million, not sold. @chartnews: WW sales: @ladygaga, ARTPOP 20,000 (1,760,000 total). Those are her current WW sales, read it and weep it. I brought up Adele and Lady Gaga, because the person above did. Now have a good day.

First off! LOVE BEY! Second, I hate when people get mad about her posting pictures. She post pics to her personal webpage and instagram FOR HER FANS! Its not her fault the blogs take the pics and make it national stories because she took a picture of her hair! Let her breathe!. Ya’ll are so annoying sometimes. If you don’t like her don’t click on the link to see her!

@Curtis im not even here to argue but once again your wrong ArtPop shipped wayyyy more than 2.3 , i wouldnt call Gaga being on a decline right now some can say the same for beyonce’s 4 album and look where she is now , nonetheless by point was Gaga & Adele have nothing to do with beyonce and this post

@HoneyB Grammy-award winning “4” went platinum in 6 months with no hit singles, compared to Artpop which still isn’t platinum with all the promo she has done. Also, “4” didn’t occur 5 years into Beyonce’s career. How do you go from selling 1 million the first week(with the help of a 99 cent discount) to barely selling 200,000 first week? You don’t call that decline? It’s too early in her career, she should still be selling big. Good day. I showed you receipts of her only selling 1.7 WW, 2.3 which are shipments.

@NICKY- Thank You! Some of these people just kill me, smh. The Kardashians have the Paps on speed dial and would take a picture with Satan himself if the price was right, but let Beyonce post some pictures and some of these same folks wanna drag her AND her child to h*ll and back, smdh.

Beyonce’s only competition is Rihana? lol I’m guessing you all haven’t seen the pics on dailymail? You know the one where rihanna is on all fours with her naked behind in the air looking like a pornstar? Even Miley hasn’t stooped that low, rihanna is clearly desperate to stay relevant.

*in shouty caps* THANK YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Beyonce is no doubt ANNOYING……..she’s pulling a Kim K…….She’s throwing her fancy, luxury lifestyle in everybody face, the average working person like myself can only dream about going to such beautiful places, she actually can wish is awesome…..NO SHADE, but I don’t need a constant remider with all these professionally taken photos….again a Kim K stunt…….who goes on a vacation with a professional photographer and then post the photos for the world to see…….Publiciity Stunt at it’s finest…….. Whatever Beyonce does it makes headlines news so I have no escape from all things Beyonce…..that’s the Super annyoing part about the whole thing. With all this said, I do like Beyonce sometimes….this is the sometimes moment.

The fact that her album doesn’t sell as well as Adele or Gaga’s previous albums (her last album flopped), might say more about society than Beyonce. All these Black artists are looking for reasons to explain away why their album sales pale in comparison to White artists who do similar music, but I don’t hear anyone acknowledging that White people across the world (who are from the first world countries) drive album sales. For the same reason that White people get cast in all the major lead roles in Hollywood, White artists sell better than Black artists – because people want to see and hear from people they think they relate to.

Irrelevant? ummm she opened the Grammys this year.
Gimme a break–no Artist is making huge record sales anymore. Those days are over.
Beyoncé is an icon. So is Rihanna. Rihanna posts tons of photos of herself on vacay—every artist does–even the ones who don’t have any music out….(Teanna)
All Artists have to do that in the day of Reality TV where nobodies are given shine for doing absolutely nothing.
Personally–I would much rather see these images of 2 highly successful married black people–in love and raising their child together.
How can you find anything negative in that???

Lies. I need receipts, and unless you can provide proof everything you say is hearsay. We all hear about these poor “songwriters” who’ve been jipped and duped by Beyonce but where are the court documents of them filing lawsuits, where are their angry interviews with reliable new sources. Where are their demos of the songs, proof of copyright infringement or ANY evidence that would corroborate their story? I’ve yet to see any of these things so me thinks that somebody is full of shit, and people are making up stories just to bring someone down a peg…

+3 Yup Reply:April 12th, 2014 at 4:25 am

@chilebye “If I were A boy” B.C Jean wrote that song and sang it. Her version is on yt. She never got credit or paid.They had loop holes where they didn’t have to pay her and instead told her they would record a duet of the song if she gets a revording contact with a major label. When irreplaceable came out she lied and said she wrote when Neyo wrote it. You can find videos of Neyo talking about it on yt. “Smash into you” was originally named “smack into you” and written by Jon Macchaughlin. He was never paid or credited. His song again yt.”Radio” was originally “In Love with the dj” by Cassie released in 2007 but didn’t chart. Song is on yt. 3 songs off her 1st albums were remakes. She stole “single ladies” dance from them Mexican ladies on yt. She bit Amerie’s Touch album (2005) for her BDay album (2006). She stole the WHOLE dancing and scences for “countdown” video from Anne Teresa De Kaesmeeker. Future is the lastest of the artist she stole from and didn’t get credit. Watch his HOT97 interview. Yt show you everything.

+9 Laz's Wife Reply:April 11th, 2014 at 1:29 pm

Actually Future already said she didn’t steal it from him. If I remeber correctly the song was presented to him and he recorded his version, but never actually bought the song. So that means its stikl up for grabs. This happens all the time in the music world. Probably didn’t want to use it so Bey jumped on it. So she didn’t steal it cause it never belonged to him. If it was one blouse left at Macy’s and you saw it first but didn’t grab it, just stood there trying to make up your mind. You can’t get mad if I make up my mind faster than you and take that blouse to the check out counter. You can’t tell the cashier I stole it from you when im the one who paid for it. Think faster next time.

Girl Bye.. Stop lying!! Just making up stuff.. Future and Detail made that song.. Future didnt get paid or credit for it.. He made the song for Beyonce to hear (buy) and pretty much he got stiffed.. Beyonce had the song for months and never told him she was gonna useit and he was gonna put it on his album but out the blue Beyonce came out with it.. Watch the Angie Martinez interview he was clearly pissed..

I do LURV me some Beyonce and Jay… but I actually preferred the pair when they were more private. Is it really necessary to take the photographer with them on their family holiday just to keep Instagram updated? I think not, but you cant please everybody.

First things first. Beyonce shares this stuff with her fans. If the blogs decide to share that isn’t beyonce fault. Secondly. She has had a photog following her around for the past 8 years. I’m sure now that they have a child capturing these moments is really important to them as well as everyone knows life is short and u never know when it’s your time to go. Blue ivy will get older and have all of this to go back to which is for her benefit I’m sure. Not yours. I wish growing up my parents did this with me but I will surely do the same when I have a child. If beyonce wants to share certain moments with her fans that is her choice.

I’m pretty sure Jay-Z took those pics of Bey. If you saw her documentary “Life is But A Dream” it shows him video taping and taking pics of her all the time lol. Chill out. I would be proud to show off my boo thang too if she was that FLAWLESS!

Love these photos. No shade though, but keep in mind enviers of the fabulous life of the Carters, sometimes things are not always as they seem! I am sure they have a great marriage and family, but not everything is always picture perfect.

But that was shade though. She’s basically insinuating that just because they look happy doesn’t mean they are happy. Like, that’s pretty negative. Of course relationships go through ups and down but why did you feel the need to bring that up while they are celebrating they’re university. Its like wishing ill will on someone. Just saying

I can understand that to an extent, but she does go overboard. When she tired to get all the funny pictures taken down from the net of her Super Bowl performance, that screamed desperation. I mean she was killing the stage, but thought a handful of unflattering photos would taint her “image”. Get out. Nothing is perfect, including her image. Although the her image has done a lot to get her to where she is, her work ethic did 10 times more. The stress over having a “perfect image” taints her image more than anything else.

She is fakeeeeee. Okay #periodpointblank. She rooked over the first three destiny’s child members. Always preaching this love yourself ****, yet a few unflattering photos of her are released and she demands for them to be removed and since no one removed them she threw a tantrum.

I get what you are saying. You can’t control everything. I’m not sure what pics she asked to be taken down but I do remember some websites were trying to call some of the pics demonic or photoshop some of them so they could look demonic. Now if it were those pics, I could definitely understand her wanting those removed.

I missed the days when she used to be private about her personal life. Thumbs me down if you want, but these seem so contrived. Often times when she tries to come of genuine, it seems a little try hard. But nonetheless, she is talented.

I think sometimes with Beyonce it seems contrived because I think if it was up to her she would have remained private. I think whoever is advising her told her that it would be beneficial to be active on social media so she decided to do Instagram. So that’s why sometimes it looks a bit phony, because she is a private person and social media isn’t for everyone. But in her profession it’s almost necessary. I don’t have an Instagram because it’s not for me. So I get it.

Always refreshing to see black successful couples happy. Glad they got rid of blue’s dread locks, they were so dry…Anyways hope they have fun out there and get snapped from good angles only, because Jay usually throws those cameras off!

Self hypnosis can enhance lucid dreams and help in
a detailed accurate recall. Have in your mind a clear understanding of whyy
you want to be able to lucid dream: Do yyou want to create a dreamscape
as your ownn private playground, or do you want to be ablee to do something very specific.

It is better for a person to take a journal and write
whatever he remembers about his dream.

Yall will just have to thumb me down, but why is all and I mean ALL pictures of Blue always back shots, what’s the fun in that, IT’S JUST A QUESTION, no one needs to get hurt. I just wanna know. Yes there is a FEW pics of her face(mostly from paparazzi) but not too many

I’m sure that the pictures that she keeps for herself and her family shows Blue smiling beautiful face. The child is not famous so maybe she doesn’t want her baby’s face all over the place. People making memes, talking crazy about the baby’s God given physical features. So yeah, she’s sharing herself with the fans but she might not want to share her kid with millions of people.
I remember Michael Jacksons kids said that he covered their faces so that they could go to the movies and to birthday party’s without being recognized. So she could also just want Blue to have as normal a life as possible.

Wow people thumbed you down for your comment?! my gosh people are overly sensitive, You didn’t say anything negative, you simply are inquiring about the obvious angles they always seem to release of Blue. You guys need to relax lol nothing in the comment was bad.

because she asked a dumb question! LOL! like duuuhhhhhhhh!!! Do you really think that Blue’s baby book only have pictures of the back of her head!?
The fun in it is seeing Beyoncé and Jay on this beautiful island. Blue is not the celebrity here, she’s just a kid. Stop feeling so obligated. Your not a part of her family, why you want to see Blue so bad

@black gal it is not a dumb question. Why are so aggressive about someone questioning it? you really need to relax and have Snickers bar.

That's so me Reply:April 11th, 2014 at 7:52 pm

@blackgirl Um well let me fix the question for you, why is the only pictures we get to see is of her back, they can keep that lol. It’s obvious they have pictures of her face smh Obviously that’s not what I meant. JS all the pics given to us are back shots, I can’t believe you were that slow to think I meant they didn’t have pictures of THEIR CHILD’S face

@Wintz,The nerve of you questioning anyone’s literacy, when you have done nothing but murdered the english language in not one but both your posts. CNN IQ survey, my *ss. Hw bout you take an IQ test yourself. Huh? The word is misled not mislead, idiot. Pls get off the internet and go attend your classes. You are beginning to look like a fool.

First off I know she may have wanted a hairstyle that’s easy to maintain and all but she looks like a Black Elvira or something. That hair is not cute at all no matter what she does to it.

Secondly in these pics and others she’s posted u can really see that without all the make-up and photoshop she looks very different. Not that she isn’t still pretty but she just looks really, really different. You can see a little 5 o’clock shadow on her upper lip where she needs a waxing, her shape is different with thicker legs and stuff. I think that’s why she posts stuff like this so people can see the real because I remember in a past interview with Oprah, not the Super Bowl one before that, and she talked about using photoshop to make parts of her look thinner and in some cases thicker and I think she doesn’t want her fans getting caught up in thinking you can be glam all the time and for them to know what’s truly attainable.
Bey’s fit, she’s healthy and beautiful and this is what anyone looking to her for physical inspiration should be looking at. Not a magazine cover photo.

I may be in the minority. But I love seeing the Carters vacation photos. Professional or not. But then again, I love seeing any celebrity POSITIVE photos. As many pictures I see on FB that is disturbing or just bad all the way around, these pictures are a breath of fresh air. I would hope Necole show more pictures from celebrities like this and not just the Carters.

It does exist!! I like to see couples doing it right in the midst of all the drama and fighting and restraining orders!! So many ppl look up to and try to imitate celebs now a day, why not show the good side even if it is from the same couples!!! Damn it I love it!!!

I’m not a fan of either, but clicked on thepost because the pics were beautiful. After reading some comments above all I can say is man…..some people can’t have an opinion over the smallest things without someone jumping down their throat. On the other hand hating on this couple or anyone for that matter does not help at all. While I’m hustling trying to make it the last thing on my mind is Bey and Jay, but a quick view through pics don’t hurt but man some people can be so mean

Folks treat this lady like a God or something…like literally worshipping her life. Why do people get so mad that others dont like her, or dont buy the image she puts out there? Ya’ll dont know nothing about this woman but the perfect life she portrays lol…so many things I have heard (not just on blogs and social media) from industry insiders who have worked with her. Bi, drug user, heavy drinker, etc. Yall have no clue yet stan for this woman like you are her best friend. LoL

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy does Necole have to post every little move Beyonce or Rihanna makes?! Like, they are doing normal things, we don’t need a post of their every move. I agree with people saying Bey is unauthentic…she likes to seem perfect, but says she isn’t perfect. She took those super bowl pics down, but why? If you have a million great pics, why do 10 matter?! The stans should know that she only cares about HER family and HER career..NOT them. Don’t care what she says. We already know the carters are happy and rich and blah blah blah. It’s just so repetitive. Bey is sooo flat chested,,,she has a nice body though. I find it crazy that no one can have an opinion about the carters w/o others getting butt hurt.(“That is crazy” in my Beyonce voice) Opinions are like butt holes…we all have one. IJS

Beyonce is truly an inspiration. She is a baddie. Just admit it ladies. You can hate on her ‘taking pics’ like we all do on IG, twitter and Facebook. But at the end of the day?? That’s it. Lol.

I admit sometimes i hate on bey myself. Just for fun. Lol. People hate on me just for fun some times i suppose. But bey is flawless. Call her every name you want but you sure as hell cant say issh about that body or that face.

And she is a beast in the studio. I love when bey gets hood like on flawless and drunk and love. You just cant help but to move when she sings!

Her ethics in the biz is all thats left to pick apart and well if she were a man, those ethics wouldn’t be called into question at all. Its a complete double standard and I’m glad bey doesnt care when she’s going after a song. She takes it, pays for it, and makes the song hers in every way.

Its easy to resent or envy some one with so much talent & beauty but I def let her career and all that she represents. motivate me.

I think it’s ridiculous that she has to bring a photographer with her to follow their every move. Bey is just so obsessed with herself and tries to portray this image that she is a perfect woman with a perfect life.
